Do not transport any objects that could restrict your vision or prevent you from fully controlling the bicycle or
that could catch moving parts of the bicycle.
When transporting bicycles, there is a risk that the bicycles could tip over, slip or fall out of the means of
transport. This could result in serious injury. When transporting bicycles in vehicles or public transport, the
bicycles should be secured to prevent them from tipping over, slipping or falling out.
Use an approved, commercially available bicycle rack for vehicles to transport bicycles. If you do not have a
bicycle rack, the bicycles must be placed in the trunk, making sure that the bicycles do not rest on the rear
derailleur.
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to numerous regulations and are often considered dangerous material by
carriers. Inquire about the relevant laws and ask the carrier for authorisation before shipping or transporting
a lithium-ion battery by air.
Transport
If you store your battery for a longer period of time (longer than two months):
Remove the battery from the bike.
Lithium-ion batteries are best stored at a charge level of 40%-60%.
charge the battery to 40%-60% every 30 days during long-term storage. Determine the charge level using
the integrated charge indicator on the battery or the battery indicator on the bike. Batteries discharge slowly
if they are not used for a long time. If the battery capacity is allowed to reach a critically low voltage, its
service life and capacity will be permanently reduced.
Always disconnect your charger from the socket and the battery before storing the battery. Avoid storing
your battery in extreme temperatures, either hot or cold.
Batteries are best stored in a shady and dry place. Do not allow accumulation of condensation as this could
lead to corrosion or a short circuit.
The recommended storage temperature for lithium-ion batteries is between 0-25°C (32-77°F).
Storage
Maintain your batteries as described in the section ‘Battery care and safety’. This is particularly important if
batteries are not used for a long period of time.
Regularly check the cables and electrical connections of your bike for damage. Frayed or heat-damaged
cables, loose plugs or poor connections might damage the system.
Store your bike indoors. The condition of a bicycle that is exposed to the weather outdoors will deteriorate
very quickly. Never cover a stored bike with plastic, as condensation could damage electrical components.
Caring for an electric bike
This weight transfer is even more effective if your bike has a front fork with suspension. The front suspension
‘dips’ when you brake and thus increases the effect of weight transfer (see also ‘Bicycle suspension’).
Practise braking and weight transfer techniques when there is no traffic or other dangers and distractions
around you.
Everything is different when you ride on uneven surfaces or in wet conditions. Stopping distance is longer
on uneven surfaces or in wet weather. The tyre's grip is reduced so that the wheels have less cornering and
braking traction and can lock up with less braking force.
Moisture or dirt on the brake pads reduces their grip. To maintain control on uneven or wet surfaces, you
need to brake more gently.
